Which means he probably saw her recent video, which showed her posing up a storm in lacey lingerie and a pair of stilettos.

"I come from a Christian background, and when I moved to New York, I got away from God," the 29-year-old explained to the publication. "Then I realised that living here, you need something to keep you grounded or you’ll go crazy."

It's not the first time Ashley has opened up about her faith. In her memoir, she discusses her marriage to Justin Ervin, including their mutual decision to abstain until tying the knot.

In the interview, the outspoken model also revealed her hatred for the term "plus size."

And despite having always felt confident in her body, she admits being put into the "plus size" category had negative effects on her own health.

"My problem though, was I kept getting bigger because I wasn't taking care of my body," she said. "I wasn't working out. I was eating whatever because I was in this category – 'plus size' – and it got out of control."

She added, "I started hating my body, but I never hid it with clothing because I always felt sexy inside."
